No, you normally do not need a CD to reboot the computer. Your operating system should be located on the hard drive. However, if you do not have a functioning hard drive with a working operating system, you may need to boot your computer from a CD boot disc.

Make system back up on CD's or USB stick with reboot action included. Either split hard disc into two partitions and save important files in separate partition or save important files on CD (Scan with anti-virus and anti-malware programs on computer all and if needed clean the partition or CD on different computer). Format the computer. Insert system back up CD or USB and reboot. Once rebooted upload files that you have saved from CD or separate partition.
If you mean to reformat the hard drive, you need to insert your copy of your operating system recovery CD and reboot the computer.

It is a CD the has some form of Linux, an operating system for your computer (Microsoft Windows is an operating system). There are CDs of Linux that are just used to install Linux, or there are LiveCDs that you just put in and reboot. Linux will be running without effecting the rest of the computer.
then try to reboot your PC.if it still doesn't show the CD then you may not have it powered in correctly.
If you have an XP pro CD you can simply enter the BIOS and set the computer to boot from CD. Then put the CD in and when you reboot it will begin setup and format the drive and install Xp as part of the process.
